Oh my god! What happened to it? Did you change your order to the same thing?

Do you honestly see yourself ever retiring and how? in c/[email protected]

If there were a steady growing economy and no crazy events for the next 20 years, and no major health issues, my Roth 401k would probably be enough for a modest retirement.

I was just wondering what the penalty would be to withdraw everything before 59, so I could figure out if it would be enough to immigrate somewhere with reasonable healthcare and a social safety net that would take those worries out of the equation. I think since it's Roth it would just be 10% of gains + one-time capital gains tax?

It might be enough. Simply having a lump of $ makes so many more countries welcome to immigrants.

all default purple theme apps are dog shit, and there are a lot of them. any graphic designer who chooses purple needs to be prevented from designing anything ever. i have to see that fake color a third of my weekdays and it takes a full weekend of spending time outdoors and seeing green to recuperate.

It must feel like living in an asylum if you're a decent person in Texas.

I expected this after watching Khalid Attaf videos of talking to customers in his family's gas station/convenience store. It was depressing to see the reasons people were planning to vote this way. If you watch this, save at least a thread of sanity and don't read the comments.

Office dwellers, what software/website or system do you use to keep track of tasks you need to do? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Logseq. Free, cross-platform (I just sync my journals through github), more convenient than any other notes or tasks app I've ever used since it auto-organizes everything you tag with graph db relationships. Organizing and constantly reorganizing my notes and tasks has always taken the longest amount of time, and now I can just stream of consciousness everything and let the app do the work. I hear Obsidian is good too, and it was next on my list to try if Logseq didn't work out. But I do love Logseq.

He was supposed to be on SCOTUS, too, nominated by Obama. I truly wonder what the court decisions would've looked like if the Republicans didn't obstruct that nomination.

And racists, and just antipathic people in general, and those traits overlap.

I'm wondering what other people experiences were like.

I called a number of psychiatrists who specialized in ASD when I started to have questions, but none of them were focused on adult diagnosis or therapy. The first psychologist I saw didn't think she was qualified to make a diagnosis in adults, and referred me to another who I had to pay out of pocket because he didn't accept my insurance. It left a bad taste for me because it felt like there is a scarcity of resources available for adults.

Do you organize the order of your groceries in the checkout line? (lemmy.world)

I'm just wondering what the title asks: do you organize your groceries in the order you will check them out, if doing self-checkout, or arrange them on the belt/counter in a standard checkout line, in the hope that they'll be bagged in a specific way?

I didn't know there was any other way people do it, but just learned some people prefer to checkout/bag without pre-arranging things. I'm kind of curious to see what's more common, or if there's some other options I haven't considered?
